Interesting. This is a leftover from the Opus/Maximus era, I believe. For
maximum compatibility, GoaTED should support this method of defining the
default origin line, and not interpret this line as an area definition.
In the meantime, adding a semicolon to comment this line out will allow GoaTED
to function correctly.
